The project involves the rehabilitation of National Route 5, Section 4 between Vaalpensspruit and Winburg.
A total length of 33.4 km of road will be rehabilitated, starting east of Vaalpensspruit, excluding the bridge, and terminating west at the N1 on-and-off ramps.

• the upgrade of five important intersections, with an exclusive right-turning lane; and
• the surfacing of 1 m of the shoulders on about 80% of the road and fully surfaced shoulders of about 2.5 m wide on the rest.
The project also includes two new major bridges – the Tom Schutte bridge at 8.4 km and the Du Plooyspruit bridge at 41 km from Vaalpensspruit – as well as the widening of the in situ concrete culverts.

The contract is valued at R279-million.
